Named Strings

#1  Postby warmonger » Tue Mar 20, 2018 3:49 am

So... does anyone know how to reference named strings in AB?  I don't remember seeing how they're used anywhere, and I can't see anything in the document on how to use them after you create them.

IIRC,

Define as: "blah"

Refer to as: "{macro blah}"

FYI... it is used in two rules in Aeldari: Battle Focus and Ancient Doom.

Not quite what I was talking about.  I'm trying to figure out how the String tabs are used.  Supposedly, that's where you set descriptions for multiple languages and such for international support, but I had other thoughts on that obviously.

I have an email in to Lone Wolf Tech Support, so we'll see what they come back with.

Got a reply from Colen.  Doesn't think it's possible, so I am going the macro route.
